Summary

General information only
Content on Homirecipes is published for general information, education and inspiration. It is not medical, nutritional, dietary, health, safety or other professional advice. Do not rely on it as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have specific dietary requirements, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing your diet.
Recipes and food safety
- Cooking times, temperatures, yields and serving sizes are approximate. Results depend on your ingredients, equipment (ovens, slow cookers and pressure cookers vary), altitude and technique.
- Follow safe food-handling practices. Cook meat, poultry, seafood and eggs to safe internal temperatures, avoid cross-contamination, and refrigerate leftovers promptly. Guidance is available from food-safety authorities such as FoodSafety.gov in the United States and the Food Standards Agency in the United Kingdom.
- Some dishes may contain raw or undercooked ingredients, such as eggs or flour. These carry a higher risk for young children, older adults, pregnant people and people with weakened immune systems.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your appliances. If a recipe involves preserving, fermenting or canning, follow tested guidelines from a recognized food-safety authority.
- Take care with knives, hot surfaces, hot liquids and oil, and supervise children in the kitchen.
Allergens and dietary needs
Recipes may contain, or come into contact with, common allergens such as milk, eggs, wheat or gluten, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish and shellfish. Ingredients and labels vary by brand and country. Always check product labels and make your own judgment about whether a recipe is suitable for you or the people you are cooking for. Descriptions such as “gluten-free” or “vegan” depend on the specific products you use. Substitutions are at your own discretion and may change the result.
Nutrition information
Where we show nutrition information, calorie counts or similar figures, they are estimates provided for convenience only. They may be calculated automatically and can vary with the brands, quantities and preparation methods you use. If you need accurate figures for health reasons, calculate them with the products you actually use or consult a professional.
Crochet and craft patterns
Finished sizes, yarn amounts and timings are approximate. Your results will depend on the yarn, hook, tension (gauge) and technique you use. Check your gauge before starting larger projects. Colors and textures in photos may look different on your screen, and materials can vary between brands and dye lots.
Safety of handmade items
You are responsible for making sure that anything you make is safe for its intended use and user. In particular:
- Small parts such as safety eyes, buttons, beads and bells can be a choking hazard for babies and young children. Attach all parts securely, or embroider features instead, and inspect items regularly for wear.
- Avoid long cords, strings and ribbons on items intended for babies and young children. Hang mobiles and hanging decorations securely and out of children’s reach.
- Keep decorations made from yarn and other flammable materials away from candles, heaters and other heat sources.
- Items made for pets can be chewed and swallowed. Supervise pets with handmade toys.
- If you sell handmade items, especially toys or children’s products, you are responsible for complying with the product-safety and labeling laws that apply where you sell.
